A lifelong musician, I paid my way through school playing music, which eventually paved my path into the media industry. Despite studying IT and spending years as a tech entrepreneur, my passion for music and creativity led me back to my roots in film and video production two years ago. Based in Cape Town, I specialize in shooting and editing, while also dabbling in mid-level animation, motion graphics, sound design, and more. As a cameraman and editor, I often serve as a one-stop shop for smaller projects, combining my technical prowess with a creative approach to deliver high-quality results. With 20 years of experience on the technical side of production, I continuously seek innovative techniques to enhance my creative output. My journey from music to media and technology has equipped me with a unique blend of skills, making me a versatile and dynamic professional in the industry.
